2004年12月26日海啸后在印度东南沿海18个沿海小村庄进行的一项研究重申，沿海红树林植被和人类栖息地的地理特征对于保护生命和财产免受海啸袭击至关重要。海啸造成了人的死亡和财富的损失，随着沿海植被的面积、人类居住的距离和海拔的升高而减少。应鼓励人类在距海岸线1公里以上的高地、茂密的红树林和或其他沿海植被后面居住。提出了一些适宜在人类栖息地和海洋之间生长的海岸保护植物种类。(C)2005爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
A study conducted after the 26th of December 2004 tsunami in 18 coastal hamlets along the south-east coast of India reiterates the importance of coastal mangrove vegetations and location characteristics of human inhabitation to protect lives and wealth from the fury of tsunami. The tsunami caused human death and loss of wealth and these decreased with the area of coastal vegetation, distance and elevation of human inhabitation from the sea. Human inhabitation should be encouraged more than 1 km from the shoreline in elevated places, behind dense mangroves and or other coastal vegetation. Some plant species, suitable to grow in between human inhabitation and the sea for coastal protection, are suggested. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
